2x-9=7x-11+19
Combine 6x and x to get 7x.
2x-9=7x+8
Add -11 and 19 to get 8.
2x-9-7x=8
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-5x-9=8
Combine 2x and -7x to get -5x.
-5x=8+9
Add 9 to both sides.
-5x=17
Add 8 and 9 to get 17.
x=\frac{17}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{17}{5}
Fraction \frac{17}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{17}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
